Maybe... another hint?

What about this... the fact that this person had this disease ultimately caused the person to move away from its home place.

Now, after half a year, no attempts were made... yet I don't belive that, at least somebody, would not see what is obvious...

I believe Legate wishes to ultimately win this thread by being the last suriving person to know the answer...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 11-21-2008, 10:36 AM

No, really not

Come on...

1. There was a person.
2. This person was vulnerable to a certain kind of disease.
3. This disease is a kind you won't usually find in a medic's handbook.
4. It caused this person, eventually, to move far from this person's home place.
5. That person did not die because of the disease, as far as we know.

Come on. That is quite a LOT of information. And, okay, I could add, for example:

6. We actually don't know anything about the person since it caught this disease.

The person was Legolas and the disease was sea-longing?

No, no, not really. The disease, if we were to take it literally, was not metaphorical.
